Okayy~ so...

For marching band next year i have to learn baritone. I've been playing trombone for 4.5 years so i know how to read bass clef and blah blah blah. But how hard is it to learn the fingerings?? We have about 5 weeks left of school, then a 2 month summer before the next marching season. During the summer i'll be going to a band clinic to learn it, but i want to be somewhat prepared.

Also, do i have to adjust my embouchure to play?? Or is it just like trombone??
